Shaw Park Beach Escape

Indulge in the carefree lifestyle of Jamaica at a beachfront resort, enjoying the sea and surf before returning to Ochos Rios for a bit of shopping.

After departing from the pier, you will soon arrive at the Shaw Park Beach Hotel, a lovely resort that overlooks a beautiful stretch of sand on Cutlass Bay. The resort’s private beach goes on and on, providing you with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the tropical scenery.

The water here tends to be remarkably blue, crystal clear and immensely refreshing. While swimming in the Caribbean Sea is always an excellent option, there is absolutely no obligation to do anything other than while away the hours as you please.

You may stroll the powdery beach as the waves gently lap the shore, bask in the sun or find a shaded spot under a coconut palm to do nothing more ambitious than read. If you’re looking for a bit of exercise, you might join a friendly game of beach volleyball or meet new friends during the playful treasure hunt.

All the while, the unmistakable beat of reggae music will be playing in the background, enhancing the mood and encouraging you to enjoy Jamaica’s carefree island lifestyle. For those who wish, lunch is available at the hotel at your own expense.

Following your time at Shaw Park Beach Hotel, you will return to Ocho Rios to shop. The most sought-after merchandise includes gemstone jewelry, hand-embroidered goods and colorful art that depicts Jamaican scenery. After shopping, you will transfer back to the pier.
